JFT, Thur
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water!!!! This is the hardest habit for me to change.. drinking water. I'm trying, but I get so busy by the end of the day I realize I've only had maybe 1 cup at lunch. So make this a priority habit to change
3. start cutting fabric for quilt... This one is very challenging! Lots of little pieces, 1 3/4 inch!! But ... I think grandson will like it.
4. laundry
5. if stops raining.. work in flower beds
6. dinner will be just deli meat sandwiches... I don't want it to go bad and lots leftover from when our friend was here.
7. Again... drink water!!!!
1 3/4” pieces? Oh my! Is it a postage stamp quilt? I love those!0 -
@PackerFanInGB - What great news! Happy to see you posting.
@pridesabtch - could the feeling been a bit of heat exhaustion?
I’m very unfit right now too. It’s so hard to get back into doing what I need to do.
@cschmitz110515 - what a nice long life. Lots of driving is tiring.
@bex953172 - I don’t think I was on here often when my grandson was being bullied, it’s terrible to deal with. I hope Saskia’s bully moves over the summer break.
Tomorrow I start my 2nd practicum in with grade 5 students for the next 5 weeks.
Michaela came for a two night sleepover, she had asked me a few weeks ago if o would take her to an indoor pool. She asked me again if we could on her sleepover so we went to a pool yesterday. Some of you will remember my swim lessons back in 2018-2019, I’m happy to say that I was able to swim the width of the pool! I’m going to start going again.
Anyway, while we were in the pool yesterday Michaela told me her dreams can come true, because she dreamed I took her to an indoor pool and it really was happening. She did say that in her dream it was winter, but it was rainy and cold yesterday so almost the same.
Today before she went home she designed a new hoodie for her. She loves personalizing her clothes.
I’m going to attempt again to get back to it.

@Snowflake1968 Michaela is adorable! She did a great job personalizing her sweatshirt. So cute!
Gosh they're growing up quickly, aren't they? It's so nice that you got to take her to a pool.
I DO remember your swimming lessons! Good for you! That's awesome! I'm glad you've decided to go back to it. It's something fun to look forward to that is good for you at the same time! Especially with the stress of your 5-week practicum. I think it will help your areas of pain also.
Good luck with the 5th graders. I have a 5th grade grandson who I love to bits, but I don't think i could spend 5 weeks in a 5th grade classroom! I could never keep up with them.1 -
Good morning! Hope everyone is having a great day!
@Bex953172 Congratulations on the new car! What a difference that will make.
@pridesabtch You looked so cute in your Star Wars costume! Nice job getting Best Couple Costume. I'm sorry to hear about the medical issues with your MIL.
@cschmitz110515 You've been a busy lady! I'm glad you got to see your family. Great photo of you with your siblings! Can you believe Wednesday night's downtown farmer's market starts already this week? And Celebrate De Pere this weekend? Holy crow, where does the time go?!
@littleblackskirt Hope you are doing well!
@TerriRichardson112 How is your quest for better sleep going? Has it helped to stop looking at tech earlier? I can't seem to put my iPad down at night...I'm usually watching quilting videos on YouTube until I fall asleep and I know that's not a good habit.
Just for Tuesday, 5/21:- 24H plan and assess
- 64+ oz water before 6 pm

- AQ Video day at mother's

2024: Working toward my goal life, regardless of the number on the scale...1 -
@PackerFanInGB I have been waiting for the Sat. farmers market to start this weekend! Just learned the Summer Market on Military Ave. is moving to the old Shopko parking lot on Thurs. afternoons (til 7:00). Maybe I'll hit that one some days. With all the unseasonable warm weather this spring, I still haven't bought my annuals & herbs yet, that will have to be soon! And hubby wants to plant his tomatoes in pots again this year.
Recap 5/20 M ~ off & on rain/thunder showers so no dog walk
1) Restaurant lunch w/ long-time friends LL & LWB (I haven't seen LWB for nearly a decade, but LL is local so we see each other occasionally) / supper? leftovers / best guess when logging food / 64+ oz. water
only 54 oz. water, too many peanut M&Ms in evening
2) PT exercises ~ my knees, hip & lower back will thank me Ack! Lazy again!
3) Wash dishes / fill more gallon jugs with rainwater from barrels ~ 5 more jugs filled / make rhubarb sauce (freeze some) instead, researched some rhubarb recipes / read / other? Happily I at last received email that SSA application status changed, so I checked my acct online to learn FINALLY "decision to approve my application" (from March 6) was made & I should receive written "notice with details of benefit information" in the mail in the next 10-15 days LOL. At least I can start to budget again with known info. Also made overnight oats.
TA-DA!
JFT 5/21 T
1) Figure out supper, maybe Schwan's fish & veg in freezer / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walked dog 4.16 miles after skipping 5 days, happy dog & happy me
3) Put away clean dishes / make rhubarb cobbler / make rhubarb sauce & freeze some / prep bday card for DE / read / declutter something / other?

@PackerFanInGB I have changed my schedule and do posts early in the evening, then I switch off before 11.30pm. For example it’s 9pm and I have already done all my necessary posting. I have a few TV programmes I want to watc h tonight. I read a book in bed for a short while then go to sleep. Unfortunately, with the light mornings I tend to wake early, so not really getting any more sleep than before 😜 I have decided to accept that my body doesn’t want any more sleep for now 😂2
-
@PackerFanInGB Haha yeah, the 2nd car! Lol had the first one for a day before I took it back and got my money back. The clutch and the exhaust went on it. Then went and spend just a tad more on another car which is absolutely mint.
It's been real fun having it! We've been so many places in one week LOL Everywhere we've wanted to go the last few years

@pridesabtch - funnily enough, I just looked at my step count for today to compare it to the junior high and it’s about 1200 steps less than average I’ve been getting.
I’m hoping by swimming and hopefully being able to get back to walking I can knock some weight off this summer. I am very unhappy with myself, but struggling to do anything about it.
Terri - I need to shut off the screen time too. I do have my phone for texts and such shut off at 930.

Sorry I've not been posting, I don't think I'll be losing any weight this month. Too many meals out, and meals in with the visitors. Birthday cake yesterday!
I'm also having a bad time at the moment with my back, it's at what I would call a level 2 pain. ie, more than the pain I have all the time, but not yet at a crisis level. So needing to take it carefully and not make it any worse. Frustrating. Also been tired and under the weather a bit. What a list of moans!
I've already been out this morning to cut grass, trying to beat the rain. Had been putting it off because of my back. Got three quarters done before the rain got too heavy, in advance of a tip run this afternoon. Exciting life lol.
JFT Wednesday 22nd
Eat sensibly
Do stretches
PF exercises

Yesterday went a little off track. Plan was to donate blood, but my iron was low so I couldn't. It wasn't scary low just outside of the range the Red Cross allows. I give often and have never been turned away before. That being said, I was crazy tired yesterday. Took a long nap after work, had dinner then went to bed early. Still exhausted this morning. Actually considering taking a half day just to sleep. Guess the past couple of weeks of high stress finally caught up with me. Oh well, it's temporary.
Today, I just have a few meetings planned then maybe trivia.
JFT Wed
- Work by 8:00
- Meetings
- Log food
- Limit 2 light beers
- Salad for dinner
- Stay green

I didn’t even think about Saturday’s Market opening this weekend also… And I totally forgot about the one on Military. I’d like to see that one grow bigger in that space. I’m going to try to hit them all at least once this year. I’ve never gone this early in the year though, so I’m curious what kind of booths they have since it’s not harvest/growing season yet. Speaking of the old Shopko parking lot, I can’t tell you how much I miss that old Shopko store! It was so convenient to run in and out of….I was just missing it again last week.
We haven’t bought our flowers or tomato plants yet either. We’ve been planting tomatoes in pots out by the deck since we moved to this house in 2015. My husband just doesn’t want to till up the ground for a garden in this yard for some reason…not sure why? We’ve always had a garden at other houses. The pots work okay, but I miss having an actual garden with a variety of plants, especially cucumbers!1 -

Good morning! Storms all over the country yesterday, including Wisconsin. Got pretty nasty but we didn’t get hit nearly as bad as some other cities and states so I’m thankful for that. We didn’t lose power, so that’s good too. Our neighborhood loses electricity a lot from bad weather.
I whacked my little toe into the couch leg this morning and think I may have broken it, so I canceled my PT appointment since I can’t even get my shoe on. Always something…. 🤦🏻♀️
@littleblackskirt I hope your back feels better soon. Good idea to not trigger it. Sounds like you’ve been busy going out to eat and spending time with visitors….sometimes that is worth way more than losing weight! Was it your birthday cake? Did I miss your birthday? If so, Happy Birthday! 🎁🎂🎈

@PackerFanInGB No you didn't miss my birthday It was my brother's. I made him a surprise cake with my grandson, and because they didn't know about it they brought a shop bought one. My mum was the baker in our family, she made all the birthday cakes, so I'm not surprised they weren't expecting me to produce one lol. So we had 2 cakes!
I only see them about every 2/3 years, so you're right, being with them is much more important than dieting. I'll pick that up again once they've gone home. We've had a few meals out, meals at mine, and also a meal after finally scattering my parents ashes. So it's been a very good month.
Sorry you've hurt your toe. So easily done!

Needing alot more encouragement today. First time posting in this discussion group.
Yesterday was a good day. I got my intense cardio day done, and having to attend a social event with ALOT of food, I didn't give in to some big dessert temptations. I did eat a normal dinner and chose as healthy of options as I could. two smaller sized ribs, homemade vinegary coleslaw and a few beans. The scale this morning was still moving in the right direction. I am so afraid of that going the other way as it typically does for me after a few days of dropping..
Today, I am feeling slightly weird, maybe like I might be coming down with something? Neck and head sorta of achy. I am on track for food so far , but nothing seems satisfying .I feel like I am just eating to hit my numbers today as best I can but not enjoying any of the food I am eating. So I am pushing water and herbal tea to get me through to a snack time (probably a protein shake) at 2-3 pm. Dinner will be a big salad with beef .
Any other words of advice to keep me lined out would be greatly appreciated. Hope everyone is having a great day3 -

Oh gosh I know the feeling of knowing what I NEED to do but really really not feeling like it!
Sounds like you've got good back up plans though, I hit the hot drinks too, make me feel a little fuller for longer.
Just think, if you get through today and hit all your goals (even though you don't feel like it) you'll feel much happier tomorrow that you DID achieve that. Don't let your feelings hold you back! It's your feelings that got you here in the first place!
Keep going! You got this! (And welcome to the group 🙂)2
